Again, those wheels are SWEET!!!

If they came in 11" wide sizes for the rear I'd buy them in a second at that price! <img border="0" alt="[judgement]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_judge.gif" />

I'm trying to fathom the meaning of your insightful contribution to this otherwise lackluster post.

Call me crazy but after a very crude 'chop on my part I actually prefer these wheels OVER FM/10s on my car <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> And for $615 for an entire set of 18x9 wheels I'd have to be crazy to pass this up. Someone pinch me, I'm dreaming (ta25th, you got mail buddy).

Thank you very much Pendragon! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Those rims look pretty damn good on that car, but I think I'd go with the black centers. What backspacing would bring the edge of the tire flush with the rim of the fender?

ta25th, you have mail! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

Here's a decent photoshop someone did for me:

And a link to the thread with original pics where I asked for the 'shop job, in case PendragonZ wants to see if he can do a little better for me <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I was also doing a little research myself a while back on the BMW stuff, and ran across this post on the CZ28 board. Kind of discouraged me from it.

Also, I don't care for the styling of the FM/10's personally. But everybody has different taste. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
